Definitions
- An apparatus for slitting a longitudinally fed flattened tube of plastics film comprises a cutting device for forming longitudinal incisions in both walls of the tube near one longitudinal edge thereof, temporarily operative means downstream of the cutting device for separating the tube walls at the longitudinal incisions, and a slitting knife which is disposed downstream of the cutting device in the medial plane of the tube, is
- the invention aims to provide a slitting apparatus which can'be located downstream of the machinery for making the tubular film and comprises at least one slit ting knife'which can be reliably introduced in the flattened tubular film by only one operator.
- a margin of the flattened tube is cut off temporarily during continued feeding of the tube and atthese cut edges the opening means can separate the tube walls to permit introduction of the slitting knife. Subsequently, the cutting device is made inoperative again but by this time the slitting knife is located inside the folded tube and continof material.
- Thetube opening means preferably comprise'a pair of rollers which have an adhesive peripheral surface and are adapted to 'be brought into contact with the tube sides.
- Such opening means are simple and will provide an opening of adequate size for introduction of the slittingknife in so far that the rollers are set into rotation under the friction of the film moving therebetween 2 and the tube walls adhere to the rollers and are temporarily deflected to separate from one another.
- peripheral surfaces of the rollers may be made adhesive with the aid of a film of adhesive but. the same effect can be brought about with the aid of suction means.
- the rollers are springbiassed to an inoperative position at which they are out of contact with the tube. This will avoid damage of the film by the rollers and the associated cutting device after the slitting knife has been introduced in the tube.
- the cutting device and tube opening means may together be adjustable on a cross-member. This saves time when the apparatus is resetto operate on a tubular film of different size.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional side elevation of a slitting apparatus taken on the line I--I in FIG. 2, and
- FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic plan view of the apparatus.
- the slitting apparatus comprises a slitting knife 1 adjustably carried by a mounting 3 on a machine frame 2.
- the knife 1 serves to slit open a tubular plastics film 4 which is flattened to formside walls 5 and 6.
- the end 7 of the knife 1 is located between the walls 5 and 6 of the tube so that the latter, which is continually fed in the direction of the arrow indicated in FIG. 2, runs up onto the cutting edge 9 of the knife 1 and is slit open at one longitudinal folded edge.
- the slitting knife 1 Before the slitting knife 1 is introduced in the tube, it is located to one side of the tube in a plane spaced a small distance from the medial plane of the flattened tube and thus at this stage the tube does not make contact with the knife.
- Means are provided for temporarily producing a marginal incision 10 through both walls 5, 6 of the tube 4. These means are located upstream of the knife 1 in the vicinity of a direction-changing roll 12 for the tube, the roll 12 being rotatable about a shaft 11. More particularly, there is a cutting blade 13 carried by a bracket 14 on a pivotable hand lever 15. The lever 15 is mounted in a blockl6 which is adjustable along a cross-member l7 fixed to the frame 2.
- the underside of the block 16 carries a cylindrical pin 18.which supports mountingsl9, 20 for rotatable opening rollers 21, 21' respectively.
- the mounting 19 is longitudinally displaceable along the pin 18 and is.
- the opening roller 21 is therefore simultaneously lowered towards the flattened tube 4.
- the roller 21' is at a small spacing from the tube 4 in a position determined by the location of the mounting 20 on the pin 18 and therefore limits the amount of deflection of the tube 4 as the roller 21 is lowered onto it.
- the two rol-, lers 21, 21 are rotated under friction by the tube 4 that is clamped therebetween. At their peripheral surfaces, the rollers are provided with a film of adhesive.
- a compression spring 23 is interposed between the mountings 19 and 20 for the opening rollers. This spring is stressed when the lever 15 is depressed and, after the incision has been formed and the lever is released, the spring will move the lever 15 and the roller 21 to an inoperative position.
- Apparatus for slitting seamless flattened tubes of plastics film which is being fed longitudinally comprising at least one slitting knife disposed substantially in the medial plane of the flattened tube so as to cut the tube along a fold line at one longitudinal edge, a temporarily operative cutting device upstream of the slitting knife for longitudinally incising the tube perpendicular 4 to said medial plane at a margin containing said fold line, and means interposed between the cutting device and slitting knife for temporarily opening the flattened tube at the longitudinal incisions formed by the cutting device whereby to facilitate introduction of the slitting knife in the tube.
- the tube opening means comprise a pair of rollers which have an adhesive peripheral surface and are adapted to be brought into contact with the tube sides.
- rollers are spring-biassed to an inoperative position at which they are out of contact with the tube.
- Apparatus according to claim 1 including a further said slitting knife, cutting device and tube opening means operative at the fold line of the opposite longitudinal edge of the flattened tube.
